Barbaro's 30 Minutes of Fame

I don't mean to be a callous bastard, but enough of the injured horse already.

I love animals, but this guy got top news billing in the news cycle for two days. He's still getting heavy coverage today.

I wonder if this gets more 'importnace' since this drama was captured on video and we got to experience his anguish.

I mean it's taking away valuable news time from important stories like American Idol and such. ;P

It always amazes me how much of news coverage is trivial.
